Difficulty obtaining president dollars.
In the past I had no problems obtaining the state quarters and president
dollars from my supplier. But as of 2008 he is apparently not able to provide me with the president dollars. I do not want rolls, I want single coins. What is the problem? -- dik t. winter, cwi, science park 123, 1098 xg amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |

I do not want rolls, I want single coins. What is the problem? May I assume that your supplier is in Europe? If so, he would likely have to buy the coins by the roll to be profitable at all, and perhaps he ends up not selling his entire inventory one coin at a time, and gets stuck with unsold pieces. You may be a loyal, faithful customer, but it's possible that you are the only one, or one of just a few, and he has decided that it just isn't working out any more. If your supplier is in the U.S., he may have decided that the costs and risks of shipping one or two low-value coins overseas are just not worth it. A lot of international shippers have given up because of all the hassle. James |

Well, one problem could be that you expect readers of this NG to be able to read your coin dealer's mind. Another could be your over-inflated sense of entitlement. Then again, it might just be that you are a jackass. |

One local dealer handled them last year, but got rid of them this year - he has lines of people wanting to sell scrap gold and his people are all very busy. His reasoning is why handle the small $$$ markup items when he can make more doing the scrap. Getting the most recent issues for face value from a bank is very problematic. oly |

... Getting the most recent issues for face value from a bank is very problematic. I don't have a problem getting rolls from my bank. It usually takes them 2 or 3 weeks after the official release date to get them. What I can't get from any of the banks around here are the new "Native American" coins, the new cents or quarters. |

The Native American dollars are available here in Springpatch, at a premium (a set of P&D for $4.00). They are odd looking coins. The date now being on the edge, the previous symmetry of the Sackie obverse has been destroyed. The 2009 proof clad "6 quarter set" is available here @ $17.00 - the designs are pretty damn bad. oly |

A lot of international shippers have given up because of all the hassle. I have had no problems obtaining the state quarters from him. I always ask for such things in addition to another order. Moreover, I pay the shipping cost and it is on my risk. I order with him about twice a year and never had any difficulty with hassle of whatever form. -- dik t. winter, cwi, science park 123, 1098 xg amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |
